Default Menopause

I was writing about this in an email to Meanon and thought I would share it on here. I'm at the age where Menopause is actually QUITE the reality and it's just been a hard thing to deal with. I get hot flashes, I'm crabby and I feel like I'm in PMS mode most of the time. I'm driving my kids crazy!!!

I was watching 'The Waltons' on TV the other day on some vintage cable channel and she said "I feel like the earth is spinning and I'm gonna fly off. Worse yet....no one will notice.". I actually had a tear filled moment because I knew what she was saying.

It just doesn't seem fair. I think I'm going to check into getting some meds for it. Anyone aware of something good on the market???

It's actually a very hard time in a person's life when they feel like a hottie one day...and wake up screaming 'I need botox' the next. You can still be the best you can be.....but you'll never be as good as you were. I find that more than depressing.

i'm 41 and i swear that i've been going into menepause for the past 5 years. my monthly visitor just isn't the same anymore - sometimes it seems to last forever which sucks big time and other times it's hardly there at all. i'm very moody, especially in the past year or so. I'm not at the hot flashes point yet but thinking how nice it will be once that monthly visitor goes away and never returns!!

I know they have some meds for menepause merika. i think the best thing for you to do is talk to your doctor to see which ones will be right for you. something that will balance, know what i mean?
